That's just chilling to read 😞
- Yeah, I can’t do it this morning. Not even to find out why madams is in quotes.
  
  I checked the article and it's just quoted as the term that's used, nothing really special beyond that.
  
  Right, that's the hook, but I'm too scared to bite.
I don't mean to make light, just that it's a sad state of the world when I can legitimately misread this as "Kanye's sex trade" and get to the end before I realize I made a mistake
[emphasis mine]
Nakuru county has one of the highest rates of HIV infection in Kenya, and Baby Girl, supported by US aid agency USAID, is on a mission to educate people about the risks of unprotected sex.
Well, that's the end of that outreach. Fucking tragic.
Weird, I just finished the “butterflies” mission in the new assassins creed.
- Assassin's Creed died after the 2nd game.
  They fired the creator and decided to milk it to oblivion.
  I'm just letting you know so you don't look like a poser in front of more experienced gamers.
  
  Lol shut the fuck up. Are you actually a teenager?
  
  What an incredible self-own lol.
  
  Yeah that’s capitalism. Can’t have anything popular and legitimately creative without it becoming commodified. I still appreciate the renderings of historical sites, and the parkour aspects of the game. I’m pretty “experienced” in that I’ve been playing since Sega Master System. I’m too old to care if someone thinks I’m a “poser”.
  
  I liked it until the end of the Ezio trilogy, though Brotherhood and Revelations felt basically like extra-large DLCs on top of 2, in terms of how they fit in narratively.
  But uhh, wtf is up with that bs gatekeeping? The series has obviously changed direction completely since killing off Desmond and undermining the point of its originally-planned story arc, but that doesn't mean other people can't like it for different reasons, if they want to.
  
  Your comment made me gouge eye my eyes, not to look like a poser or anything
